Behind Clark

There's an alley behind the stores and bars of Clark street. Let's see what progress looks like:

What was once a much loved neighborhood sushi restaurant has been "under renovations" for almost 2 years now. 3469 N. Clark is a rickety metal scaffold from the front. That poor shovel has been sitting there doing nothing for ages.




Behind the future "Wrigelyville Arms" is a garbage and debris pile more than 3 feet high. it blocks the rear doors. There is currently NO work being done on the project. It's a home for vermin.
